Created attachment 59069 [details, diff]
changes LICENCE to gpl

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-05-17 15:08:08 UTC]

'GPL' is invalid too ... changed it to 'GPL-2'

Umm... how is it GPL-2? There no indication of that anywhere.

But you're not using the same source Debian is.

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2007-02-01 04:36:29 UTC]

so what ?  the author is the same

[Comment 8 a thing 2007-02-01 04:39:53 UTC]

So? Just because you use one license on one thing doesn't mean it retroactively applies to everything you've ever copyrighted.

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2007-02-01 05:11:55 UTC]

license != copyright

[Comment 10 a thing 2007-02-01 06:02:42 UTC]

I know that. I've no clue how you thought I thought that from my comment.
